My wife and I booked a two night stay at the resort for her Birthday. Our suite was fantastic with an awsome view of Estero Bay and Lovers Key.The resort staff was very friendly and professional. We dined at the resort restaurant, Flippers and found the food, service and views to be wonderful. This is a great location for both couples and families. We loved it.

We had a little problem checking in as we thought dogs were allowed. We were not allowed to bring the 3 month old puppy in,so we snuck him in. No way we were driving back to Miami.

So, once inside it was clean, it had good amenities, pool was nice & the room was big. Didn't interact with the hotel staff much but the times we did they were helpful. Restaurant was ok, nothing to rave about, just simple good food. Well definitely recommend & stay again.

Just returned from another great trip to Lover's Key Resort near Ft Myers Beach. This must be at least our 10th visit over the past 10 years or so and again it did not disappoint. We got what we expected through reservations and the front desk staff quickly got us checked in and up to our room. The view wasn't the best as we were only on the 3rd floor but it was still nice.

The suites are great for families as mom and dad can have the bedroom while the kids sleep in the living room. Our two (9 and 6) share the soft pretty well. There is room for a sleeping bag if need be.

A nice surprise were the improvements made at Flippers, the adjacent waterside restaurant. They have made some ADA (accessibility) upgrades and installed restrooms. And, they have a new chef that not only had some great dishes but also had a great personality. Very likeable. Really enjoyed the fish tacos. Good wings too and a neighboring table raved about the hamburger.

Also of note is that the "included breakfast" that we always got is now served at Flippers instead of in the resort itself. We had choice of pancakes, eggs made to order, cereals and fruit. A much more pleasant experience eating breakfast bayside than in the cramped quarters of the small area they had reserved in the resort. Would it be that hard to add waffles to the offerings?

Kids would like a waterslide at the pool but the waterfall keeps them entertained. There is a playground just down the street in the State Park. Probably walkable in the cooler months.

We added a third night but had to move rooms in order to do so. No problems there either and a slighly better view overlooking the pool. Saw some dolphins and a number of birds. Can't wait to get back.

Over the week of the 4th of July my wife and I were able to sneek a trip to Lovers Key Resort. From the second we checked in, we knew we picked well! The staff was friendly and helpful at all times. When we got to our room, the view was stunning! We were on the 8th floor and overlooked the bay. From our first drinks at Flippers (which we loved both the food and the atmosphere) and the grouper sandwich (a must have), nothing but smiles from us. We had friends with kids join us after lunch and they swam in the pool. The kids lovef the pool and the waterfall. Then we were able to see all the fireworks from Bonita to Ft Myers. Wonderful!

One thing though, our stay was amazing, but to be far in a review, the hallway (at least on our floor) did not have Air Conditioning working...and it was a little toasty. When we talked to management, they said that this was being addressed. Also, the rooms are a little dated, but in certain ways made it feel a little more "beachy." I look forward to visiting there again!

My wife and I, along with another couple, planned a weekend getaway to Ft Myers Beach and were glad we chose Lovers Key Resort, but would make some changes for the next time. The hotel is situated in a fantastic location and the views from the balcony and windows were awesome. Our room, 606, had a balcony where you could see the bay and the gulf. Unfortunately, our bed was terrible and I was so sorry I forgot to bring my pillow from home! There are no upgraded pillows, and Sheila was less than friendly or hospitable upon our check in. I felt we were interrupting her in doing something more important than welcoming paying guests to the hotel. The quicker we were gone, the better. Another desk clerk and hotel worker who we encountered were much more friendly and representative of a quality property. The complimentary breakfast was a choice of either eggs or pancakes at Flipper's Restaurant downstairs and the wait staff and chef did a wonderful job. From the open window where we sat, we saw dolphins frolicking in the bay. The restaurant also has a full bar available.

Room Tip: Be sure your room is NOT 606 for a good night's sleep. Find one with a pillowtop, and bring you...

From the moment we entered the lobby we were looking forward to a great stay. The staff were helpful and friendly and everything was clean and organized. We had room 1201, the apartment was awesome, very clean, modern, relaxing and had an incredible water views for the floor to ceiling windows. The fully functional kitchen was a pleasant surprise. Dinner at Flippers was excellent and well worth the price. We will be back again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the bay and pool.

My family and I went over to this hotel to spend the weekend away in Fort Myers Beach. We've stayed all over Fort Myers Beach and choose a different hotel everytime trying to find the perfect one for us. First off it is a little annoying to drive past the hotel another 10 minutes to the Flamingo Inn to pick up the key.

Once we checked in the room was ok. It definitely needs updating and some upkeep to the room. My daughter who is crawling ended up with dirty knees, feet and hands which tells me the carpet needs to be cleaned better,. I went to cook and reached into a bowl only to find it was greasy and not cleaned at all. Along with a few cups were stained and dirty. The cleaning people need to do a better job.

The bedroom and bathroom were very dark a few more lights would make it so much better. and the beds were awful. Both my husband and I woke up with a back ache after sleeping.

Just for the night it was fine but If we had planned to stay longer like a week I would have been really disappointed. This place could be really nice if they remodeled it and kept it cleaner!
